This application claims benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/996,698, filed Nov. 30, 2007, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. This application also claims benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119 to French Patent Application No. FR 0758913, filed Nov. 9, 2007, the contents of which are also incorporated herein by reference.

The present disclosure relates to a composition for the oxidation dyeing of keratin fibers, for instance, human keratin fibers such as the hair, comprising at least one nonionic derivative of cellulose modified with at least one hydrophobic group, at least one fatty acid ester, and at least one oxidation dye.

The present disclosure also relates to the use of this composition for dyeing keratin fibers and also to the dyeing process using this composition.

It is known to dye keratin fibers such as human hair with dye compositions comprising oxidation dye precursors, generally known as oxidation bases, such as ortho- or para-phenylenediamines, ortho- or para-aminophenols and heterocyclic compounds. These oxidation bases are colorless or weakly colored compounds which, in combination with oxidizing products, can give rise, via an oxidative condensation process, to colored compounds.

It is also known that it is possible to vary the shades obtained with these oxidation bases by combining them with couplers or coloring modifiers, the latter being chosen from, for example, aromatic meta-diamines, meta-aminophenols, meta-diphenols and certain heterocyclic compounds such as indole compounds.

The variety of the molecules involved as oxidation bases and couplers makes it possible to obtain a rich palette of colors.

It is desired that the “permanent” coloring obtained by virtue of these oxidation dyes should, moreover, meet a certain number of requirements.

For instance, it should have no toxicological drawbacks, it should allow shades to be obtained in the desired strength, and it should show good color-fastness with respect to external agents such as light, bad weather, washing, permanent-waving, perspiration and rubbing.

The dyes should also allow white hair to be covered and, finally, should be as nonselective as possible, i.e. they should make it possible to obtain the smallest possible differences in coloring along the same keratin fiber, which is generally differently sensitized (i.e. damaged) between its tip and its root.

Moreover, the compositions obtained should, in addition, have good rheological properties, while at the same time conserving good coloring properties. For instance, these compositions should not run on the face or out of the areas intended to be dyed, when they are applied, such as after mixing with an oxidizing agent.

Improving the power of dyeing by combining a para-phenylenediamine oxidation base and at least one nonionic amphiphilic polymer such as hydroxycellulose modified with a hydrophobic group is discussed in International Patent Application Publication No. WO 98/03150.

However, these compositions do not entirely meet the abovementioned requirements and can be improved, for instance, in terms of dyeing properties, such as in terms of dyeing selectivity and power. Thus, there is a need in the art to obtain stable hair dyeing compositions, for example, in the form of creams, which are easy to prepare and to apply, which may contain high concentrations of dyes in the form of salts, which have good rheological qualities and which produce strong, relatively nonselective colorations that withstand the various attacks that keratin fibers may be subjected to.

Accordingly, one aspect of the present disclosure, is a dye composition for keratin fibers, for example, human keratin fibers such as the hair, comprising, in a medium suitable for dyeing:

(A) at least one nonionic derivative of cellulose comprising at least one hydrophobic substituent containing from 8 to 30 carbon atoms;

(B) at least one C₈-C₃₀ fatty acid ester; and

(C) at least one oxidation dye.

The dye compositions according to the present disclosure may have at least one of the following properties:

-   -   they make it possible to obtain compositions with a viscosity         corresponding to a cream, which are stable over time,     -   they stand out by virtue of the fact that they could be easily         mixed with the oxidizing composition,     -   they stand out by virtue of the rheological qualities of the         creams obtained (good viscosity of cream as a mixture),     -   they are easy to apply after mixing with the oxidizing         composition at the time the dyeing is carried out (qualities of         use on the head).

In addition, the compositions according to the present disclosure may make it possible to obtain compositions capable of producing colorings with varied, chromatic, powerful, aesthetic and relatively nonselective shades which are uniform over all the keratin fibers, for example, human keratin fibers such as the hair, and which are highly resistant to the various attacks to which the fibers may be subjected.

Another aspect of the present disclosure comprises a process for dyeing keratin fibers, wherein the cosmetic composition according to the present disclosure is used.

Another aspect of the present disclosure relates to the use of this cosmetic composition for dyeing keratin fibers, for example, human keratin fibers such as the hair.

Application Protocol

Both Composition 1 and 2 were each separately diluted, extemporaneously, with one and a half times its weight of an oxidizing composition having a pH in the region of 3 (aqueous hydrogen peroxide at 20 volumes) (6% by weight of H₂O₂). The mixtures were easily prepared and had a good viscosity; they were easily applied to grey hair, comprising 90% white hairs, at a rate of 10 g per 1 g of hair, and left on for 30 minutes. The hair was then rinsed, washed with a standard shampoo and dried.

The hair coloration was evaluated visually. The results obtained on natural grey hair, comprising 90% white hairs, after treatment, were the following:

Shade Composition 1 Mahogany red chestnut Composition 2 Coppery mahogany blond

These colorations had good properties, in particular in terms of selectivity and strength. The compositions obtained were stable over time.

Application Protocol

At the time of use, each of Compositions 3 and 4 was mixed separately with one and a half times its weight of an oxidizing composition (aqueous hydrogen peroxide at 20 volumes) (6% by weight of H₂O₂).

Dyeing Properties

Each mixture was applied to natural (NW) and permanent-waved (PW) locks of hair containing 90% white hairs, at a rate of 15 g of mixture per gram of locks of hair. After a leave-on time of 30 minutes at ambient temperature, the locks were rinsed, washed with a standard shampoo, rinsed again and dried.

The clorimetric measurements were carried out using the Konica Minolta CM-2600d spectrocolorimeter in the CIE L*a*b* system. In the L*a*b* system, L* represents the strength of the coloring obtained; the lower the value of L*, the stronger the coloring obtained. The chromaticity is measured by the values a* and b*, a* indicating the value along the green/red color axis and b* indicating the value along the blue/yellow color axis.

For each composition, the selectivity of the coloring was evaluated. The selectivity of the coloring was the variation in the color between natural hair and permanent-waved hair. The natural hair was representative of the nature of the hair at the root, whereas the permanent-waved hair was representative of the nature of the hair at the end.

The selectivity was measured by ΔE, which is the variation in color between the natural hair and the permanent-waved hair, and is obtained from the formula:

ΔE=√{square root over ((L*−L _(o)*)²+(a*−a _(o)*)²+(b*−b _(o)*)²)}{square root over ((L*−L _(o)*)²+(a*−a _(o)*)²+(b*−b _(o)*)²)}{square root over ((L*−L _(o)*)²+(a*−a _(o)*)²+(b*−b _(o)*)²)}

in which:

L*, a* and b* represent the parameters of the dyed permanent-waved hair, and

L_(o)*, a_(o)* and b_(o)* represent the parameters of the dyed natural hair.

The lower the value of ΔE, the lower the selectivity and therefore the more uniform the coloring along the hair.

Results

Hair type L* a* b* ΔE Composition 3 NW dyed 24.68 15.49 0 3.60 PW dyed 21.24 15.37 −1.04 Composition 4 NW dyed 23.58 16.59 −0.57 6.15 PW dyed 18.98 12.51 −0.33

The selectivity (ΔE) was lower for Composition 3 according to the present disclosure, thereby demonstrating a more uniform coloring along the fiber.
